Question Bugeye front wing reflector query

Newbie to Bugeyes so please excuse daft queries.

Inside the reflectors on the front wings of my 2001 WRX Bugeye there are some small bulbs but I cannot fathom what they are for:



They don't come on as side lights - anyone know what they are for?

Thanks in advance.

You can run a wire from your existing sidelights in the main headlight unit if you want to then they will all come on together, They are aftermarket ones as the standard ones are just a reflector with no bulb holder

Thanks chaps.



There is a wire + connector loose either side of the back of the headlamp unit and I cannot work out how these would connect to the bulbs in the wings (there aren't any gaps or holes).

Offside:


Nearside:


I would like to replace them with carbon fibre style ones/plain - any ideas where to get some from?
